Some people had complained about admission prices for the Rogers aquatics center. 40/29 news found out how much the park is making, and where your money is going.

Although the center has made more than $500,000 in admission in just 6-weeks, Roger’s Aquatic center manager Suzy Turek said there are a lot of expenses to consider.

“We wanted to know we could return that in revenue and make our operational cost and break even,” said Turek. The Rogers aquatics center did more than just break even. Larry Williams Parks Department Operations Manager told 40/29 news the aquatics center brought in more than $790,000 since May 25th.

Turek said they set a side at least half a million dollars for operational costs. That leaves a little bit of a profit, so where does that money go? “If we have some left we put it in a legacy fund for repairs for expansion if we are lucky enough to do that and that’s exactly what has happened,” said Turek.

Turek said they also had some deals on discounted admission that helped pack in people when the park first opened. Larry Williams Parks Department Operations Manager said they won’t know exactly how much the aquatics center made until the end of this year.
